EXODUS 36:1. “Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the Lord put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord has commanded.” WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING Some things need to be together – Rain and wind produce bad weather.
Faith and works both are needed – To give assurance the Gospel’s heeded.
Love and life provide the balance – Giving proof salvation makes real changes.
Rich and poor can both be bad – Either can make you sad or glad.
Wisdom and understanding need each other – Wisdom can put hard pieces together.
But understanding has a very unique skill – It deals directly with a person’s will.
Wisdom places everything in proper order – Understanding recognizes what they’re there for.
Wisdom follows carefully laid plans – Understanding completes the job with careful hands.
Wisdom guides me through God’s Word – Understanding moves me to obey my Lord.
Wisdom reveals the past and future – Understanding tells me how to get there.
Wisdom guides us through its light – Understanding comforts, us in the night.
Wisdom is personified by the Lord – Understanding is why I obey His Word.
“I marvel Father, at the wisdom Thou hast given to many of Thy people – and even many who are not. I need wisdom and know that often I ask Thee for it. The many ways Thou hast spoken of to instruct me to gain wisdom are clear. Please give me understanding to know the reasons and uses of wisdom that I may better serve Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
